missed it by a few days, august 9, 1974, Nixon resigns.

I was 18 years old, had a summer job as a security guard. The radio was on in our lounge carrying it live and we would all dart in periodically to hear what was going on.

Pretty much everyone was aware of Watergate, although at the time, I was more interested in girls than politics.

So who remembers where they were that day? The reason I ask is an article came out over the weekend that 50% of the current U.S. population was not born in 1974.
